    This easy recipe for homemade raspberry lemonade used frozen raspberries and is non alcoholic. I walk you through the steps of how to make the raspberry syrup from scratch. This lemonade with raspberry syrup is a cold drink you can serve all summer long!

    Since this pink lemonade uses frozen raspberries you can make this drink long after raspberry season is over!

    Some Tips for Straining the Raspberries

    Once the frozen raspberries, sugar and lemon zest have cooked down the mixture will need to be strained to remove seeds and pulp. I like to use a fine mesh strainer over a batter bowl.

    I place the strainer over the bowl and then carefully pour the hot raspberry mixture into the strainer. Using a spoon I press gently to help separate the juice from the mixture.

    After the mixture has been strained I place the warm syrup into the fridge for at least 30 minutes. After it is cooled I continue making my homemade raspberry lemonade.

    What is pink lemonade made from?

    Pink lemonade can be made from raspberries, strawberries, cranberries or even just food dye. This recipe for raspberry lemonade could also be called pink lemonade because of the lovely bright pink color it is after it's done.

    Substitutions

    You can easily substitute frozen strawberries or a mix of berries in this recipe.

    • Frozen Strawberries - instead of frozen raspberries you can use strawberries and get a similar bright pink color
    • Frozen Mixed Berries - the berry lemonade will be a bit more purple, but it will still be delicious and is a great way to use up leftover frozen berries.
    • Lime Juice - you can easily use lime juice and/or lime zest in the place of the lemon in this recipe

    Storage

    You can store this drink in the pitcher or a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you know you aren't going to serve this recipe immediately you can mix everything together except for the ice. Add the ice right before serving to keep the drinks cold.
